NTPC has signed an initial pact with Bangladesh Power Development Board to form an equal joint venture to set up two 1,320 megawatt power plants in Bangladesh for about 140 billion rupees ($2.99 billion), India's Power Secretary P. Uma Shankar said Monday.

If what Partha Chatterjee said above is to be accepted then we must assume that land acquiring for construction of public sector power plant in Katwa, National Highway 34 expansion in North 24 Pargana and Power transmission pole erection at Rajarhat are not for the ‘greater good of the public.’

An awakening to the sacred level undergirding our principles and values would help empower the forces opposing the Rule of the Lie, the Lust for Power, the insatiable Hunger for Mammon that has taken power in America.

We add to Goldman's list a possible fourth holdup for Power-One--its recent acquisition of Magnetek's power electronics group, with products ranging from digital microcontrollers for motors to 50 kilowatt converters and including a custom AC-to-DC business, which will enable Power to compete head-on with the big three: Tyco, Emerson and Delta Electronics.

Digital power can apply to any industry, and Power now reports over 70 design wins, some with top-tier vendors, spanning applications from wireless, networking, telecom and test equipment to aerospace, aviation and computing.
